JOSIE

I walk him downstairs. The television is on blaring a commercial at top volume but there’s no one on the couch or in the kitchen. Jamie must have left it on. Izzie is nowhere in sight.

Zack pulls his coat off the stand and shucks into it. I watch his movements, especially his mouth. Desire rises again when I realize he probably still smells like me.

“Drive safely.”

It’s a thing I’ve said to him a thousand times but suddenly seems really intimate. I’m guessing that everything is going to seem really intimate from now on. I know what he looks like naked. I know how he feels inside me. There’s no way to go back to what life was like before.

No way at all.

He crosses the room to me. Prowling is the only word for it. He’s all swagger and rolling hips and oh my is it hot as hell.

“Can I come by tomorrow?”

An enthusiastic yes is on my lips until I realize the date.

“My parents’ annual anniversary party is tomorrow night.” I grasp the front of his coat and bury my face in his neck. “I really, really, really wish I could skip it now. It’s always boring but now I’ll be thinking about what I’m missing all night!”

There’s no way I can pretend I forgot either since I know my mother will call tomorrow to remind me.

His chest rumbles beneath my cheek with his laughter. “Do you want me to come with you?”

My head shoots up. “Would you?”

“Sure, why not?”

“It’s black tie. And at the country club,” I add when he makes a so what face. “You’d be bored stiff within five minutes. I would never ask you to subject yourself to that on my behalf.”

“I’m well aware that it’ll be boring as hell. I’m offering to come anyway.” He smiles down at me, his arms circling around my back to settle around my hips.

Even though I came, loudly, several times less than an hour ago, just being this close to him already has my motor purring again. What the hell has he done to me? One evening in my bed and Zack Marshall has turned me into a sex fiend.

“Well, you’ve been warned. It’ll be nice not to look pathetic all night while everyone asks why I don’t have a date. I’m assuming your tuxedo is already pressed and ready?”

He gives me a look.

“Just kidding.” My giggles are cut off when he scoops me up in his arms playfully.

He sets me on my feet. “I’ll buy one, brat.”

“Will you be able to get one that fits that quickly?”

“You can get anything quickly if you have enough money.” His face sobers but he quickly covers the look with a smile. It doesn’t quite reach the corners of his eyes though and I recognize it for the mask it is.

Interesting.

After he found out about the money, Gabe ranted for days about their irresponsible father and how he’s trying to buy their forgiveness. Underneath his anger, I could tell that he was actually a little hurt.
